What is this game about? About guessing words and phrases in a limited amount of time. One player explains the phrase to the rest of the team. The other team members try to guess describing phrase. You can decrease the time of guessing or apply special game conditions: drawing, explaining with one word only or showing phrase with gestures only. Preparation? It is no longer necessary to write phrases on a piece of paper and put them into a hat. Add your own phrases for the game or use existing ones from the history or from our sets. How to play? In the allotted time, explain to the partner as many words as possible, he or she should name them correctly. In the game, you can play several rounds: the words should be explained by pantomime, in one word, using only verbs or adjectives, or should be drawn and guessed by drawing. Results? For the guessed phrase, the team gets one point, for a missed word – a penalty. In the end, the game will calculate the result and show you who the winner is! ## Key features - Timed word guessing - Drawing, charades, and single-word explanation modes - Custom phrase creation - Pre-made phrase sets - Team-based scoring - Penalty system for missed words ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Набор слов "Мужские слова" | $0.99 | one-time | | Набор слов "Женские слова" | $0.99 | one-time | | Пакет слов "Простые слова 2" | $0.99 | one-time | | Words set "Interesting game" | $0.99 | one-time | | Words set "Simple words 2" | $0.99 | one-time | | Support the development | $0.99 | one-time | | Support the development | $0.99 | one-time | | Support the development | $0.99 | one-time | | Support the development | $0.99 | one-time | | Support the development | $3.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 20) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/alias-guess-a-word/id1088586897/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Хорошо *2024-02-16* Работает ### 5/5 — Есть Но *2022-12-31* Ребят! Отличное приложение! Игра хорошая. Но, у меня некоторые группы слов совсем не грузятся ( это Животные, Авторский, Простые слова 2). Это можно как-то исправить? **Developer response:** Спасибо за отзыв! Сами вчера заметили :(  Эти наборы слов платные и AppStore не присылал для них цену. Кое-что в настройках обновили, проблема должна исчезнуть.
